Hey guys, it's Arianita La Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.
2
Today I'm gonna take you guys with me to go shopping
3
and we are going to go shopping at the biggest mall in my city of Cincinnati,
4
Ohio called Kenwood Town Center.
5
This mall is an indoor shopping mall and that means that all of the stores are inside.
6
So come along with me and let's go
7
and learn some shopping vocabulary at the mall i just entered
8
through the main entrance of the mall this small has four entrances
9
but this is the main entrance also it feels so nice
10
and refreshing to be inside the mall because this small has ac
11
and lots of cool air to cool me down
12
because right now we are in the middle of the summer
13
and it's scorching hot it feels so nice to be inside
14
when you walk inside the main entrance to my left the first thing
15
that you see is a restaurant called the cheesecake factory
16
and they're famous for their cheesecake here at the mall they have a ton of different restaurants
17
but they also have a food court which i'll show you guys later
18
but let's continue on with the video
19
when you enter the mall you can walk up these stairs right behind me
20
or you can choose to walk up this huge ramp
21
and why do they have a ramp
22
and a set of stairs well they have a ramp
23
so people who have a disability or people who use a wheelchair
24
or a cane can go down this ramp instead of walking up the stairs
25
when you go to the mall you may know exactly what you want to buy
26
and what store you want to go to well behind me is a directory
27
and it has a huge map of all the stores
28
that they have inside this mall
29
so it makes it a lot easier for you to go
30
shopping this directory shows you all of the different sections of things you want to buy
31
if you want to buy something specific clothing for men you would look at the apparel for men
32
or if you want to look at a store
33
that has clothing for both men and women you would look at the section
34
that has apparel for men and women
35
so they have different sections like electronics eyewear jewelry and accessories
36
that you can see in this directory the main entrance leads
37
me to the upper level right now i'm on the upper level
38
and this small has two levels the upper level
39
and the lower level there are three different ways to go
40
downstairs the first one is using the stairs going down the stairs
41
and the second one i'll show you but first you guys have to name it so come along with me
42
I'm going to use this to go downstairs to the lower level,
43
but first I'll give you three seconds to tell me what it's called.
44
This is called an escalator.
45
Escalator, and I'm going to take you guys with me to go down.
46
I just went down the escalator.
47
Now I'm on the lower level of the shopping mall,
48
and behind me is the food court.
49
As you can see, there is a sign that says we are at the food court.
50
So let's see what kind of restaurants and fast food chains that they have here.
51
In this food court, they have fast food chains and local franchises at the mall.
52
So I'm going to take a look to see what type of different fast food chains that they have.
53
Also, they don't have restaurants here.
54
Normally, the restaurants are by the exit of the mall,
55
like the Cheesecake Factory was by the main entrance of the mall.
56
So let's take a look at the food that they have.
57
Right here is Sparrow.
58
It's a fast food chain and they sell Italian food like pizza.
59
Here I'm at Sparrow and they sell pizza.
60
I wanted to ask you guys,
61
how much does one slice of pizza cost you guys in your country?
62
Here in America, it costs $4.99 for one slice of pizza.
63
Do you guys think that is cheap or do you guys think that is expensive?
64
If you wanted to make it a combo with an extra side and a drink,
65
that would be $8.99.
66
Let me know if you guys think that's expensive.
67
Let's keep on moving on and see what other franchises they have at this food court.
68
This is a local franchise called Gold Star Chili,
69
and they sell a hot dog with chili and cheese on top.
70
If you guys saw my baseball video,
71
you guys would know exactly what I'm talking about,
72
and that is called a Coney.
73
Of course you can't miss out on ordering chinese food at
74
the mall i think almost every mall sells chinese food
75
but let's keep moving on
76
and see what else they have how do you call this franchise behind me this is called popeyes
77
and they sell a lot of chicken
78
and their main competitor is kfc kentucky fried chicken
79
and behind me are two of the most popular franchises in the u.s They're called Chick-fil-A and Chipotle.
80
As you can see, they're pretty popular because people are waiting in line,
81
long lines at the mall.
82
Compared to the other fast food chains,
83
these are more popular because there is a line.
84
Walking away from the food courts,
85
now I'm going to show you two different places where you can do your shopping.
86
The first place is right behind me.
87
This is called a store.
88
This store sells hats.
89
And another place where you can go shopping is this thing
90
right here what is it called this is called a kiosk
91
and this kiosk sells things for your phone like phone cases
92
and chargers and it's a lot smaller compared to a store now
93
that we've been to the upper level the lower level the food court
94
and you guys know the difference between a store
95
and a kiosk let's keep on moving on
96
and see what this mall has to offer for their shoppers
97
right behind me is one of my favorite stores at this shopping mall
98
and it's called akira also they sell clothes just for women
99
and these clothes are trendy which means these clothes are in style
100
and behind me are clothes that are pink
101
because right now the barbie movie is trendy also how do you call this person
102
that is wearing clothes that is called a mannequin mannequin and why do stores have mannequins by their window.
103
Well stores like clothing stores have mannequins so
104
when people walk around through the mall they can look at the mannequins
105
and see wow what nice clothes they have
106
and maybe they can even enter the store and buy the things they're looking at.
107
Now I'm here with Tanya,
108
my lady, and I'm going to ask them what are their favorite stores at this mall.
109
I would say Foot Locker because I like shoes or I like to go to Chipotle.
110
Because is an informal way of saying because
111
so the correct way to say this is I would say Foot Locker
112
because I like shoes or I like to go to Chipotle.
113
I say Hollister's Foot Locker they be having a lot of good stuff.
114
I say is incorrect grammar.
115
The correct phrase is I would say.
116
Hollister's is not the official name of the store.
117
It's called Hollister.
118
They be having is informal English.
119
A lot of is an informal contraction of a lot of.
120
The correct way to say everything is, I would say Hollister.
121
Foot Locker has a lot of good stuff.
122
And what do you like to do at the mall?
123
What do you normally do here?
124
We like, we chill, like we be hanging out with our friends and just buying stuff,
125
just living life.
126
Yeah, walking around, getting food,
127
bad stuff, shopping, basically just hanging out.
128
Awesome, thank you guys.
129
Now I'm at a shoe store,
130
so I'm going to see what they have.
131
This is a sandal, and Birkenstocks are one of the most popular sandals right now
132
because they are very comfortable for your feet.
133
This shoe store also has shoes like Converse.
134
These are Converse.
135
They also have Crocs with holes in them.
136
This is a video game store.
137
Come along with me and let's see what are the most popular video games that they have.
138
These video games are for the newest PS5 so let's see how much each game costs.
139
This game costs $29.99.
140
This video game costs $89.
141
Would you guys pay $89 for a video game?
142
Let me know down below.
143
This store sells pre-owned video games,
144
so this just means that people have used these before,
145
and this is a good way
146
if you have had a video game for a really long time and you want to sell it to the store,
147
and now the store will resell this video game for a cheaper price.
148
This price is $14.
149
This is definitely cheaper compared to the newer video games.
150
They also have video games for different consoles like Xbox.
151
And I believe that these video games are a bit cheaper.
152
This store also has another console called Nintendo.
153
So they have a TV right here.
154
And with this controller, I can try out some of their games like Mario Kart
155
or I can play Donkey Kong or Minecraft
156
and I can try out a game to see if I want to buy it.
157
This is a store that sells athletic gear.
158
Here they sell Nike, Air Jordan,
159
Adidas, Puma, Crocs, Converse, Reebok,
160
Champion, Sony, Timberland, and Sonetti.
161
Now let's go inside.
162
These shoes are called gym shoes or sneakers and they cost $160.
163
This store sells athletic gear like sweatshirts, shorts, and sweatpants.
164
I'm going to see the price.
165
This tag says $100.
166
These shorts cost $70 and these sweatpants cost $95.
167
And this store behind me is Macy's.
168
This is a department store.
169
And what is a department store?
170
A department store is a large store located at the end
171
of a mall this store sells things like clothes perfume cologne
172
cosmetics home accessories jewelry anything you can name up inside of a huge store
173
so let's see what they have a department store sells things
174
like girls clothing for little girls they also sell toys they have beauty products right here
175
and if you get lost
176
and you need to find something they have signs on the ceiling with the clothing they have the different ages
177

178
and you're 7 to 16 years old this would probably be
179
your size inside this department store they have a starbucks kiosk
180
just a little mini starbucks store in this small they also have a bigger starbucks store

are three ways you can move from the lower level to the upper level at the mall.
185

186
the second way is up the escalator,
187
and the third way is this.
188
What is this called?
189
This is called an elevator.
190
Elevator!
191
And I'm going to move from the lower level to the upper level.
192
I'm going to push this button.
193
I went up the elevator.
194
Here at Macy's they have a lot of cosmetic products and you can ask someone for help in case you need it.
195
Hi, I'm looking for a lipstick but I want a pink lipstick.
196
All right, all of our options are right here.
197
Perfect, thank you.
198
There are two ways to pronounce the highlighted word.
199
You can pronounce it like our, our.
200
For example, it's my dog and your dog.
201
It's our dog.
202
The other way to pronounce this word is our, our, our dog.
203
In America, our is the most common pronunciation.
204
All right, all of our options are right here.
205
Now we're on the upper level and I found the Lego store.
206
So this is a toy store for kids or for adults.
207
So let's see what is the most expensive Lego set inside.
208
I wasn't allowed to record inside the Lego store,
209
the toy store, but I found one of their most expensive sets of Legos,
210
the Eiffel Tower at $629.99.
211
Is that pricey?
212
Let me know.
213
Also, that price tag, $629, does not include the tax.
214
It can get very expensive when you're shopping for items over $100.
215
Over here, they have the Darth Vader display,
216
and that is just for display,
217
but you can go inside and take a picture with it.
218
When I pass by this store,
219
it smells like a candy shop,
220
but it's not a candy shop.
221
This store, Bath & Body Works,
222
sells things like candles, perfume,
223
shampoo, conditioner, everything that would make your house smell so good.
224
I'm going to pop in the store and check out their products and smell their candles.
225
This is a beautiful display,
226
but it looks kind of weird.
227
You know why?
228
Because this display is just for Halloween.
229
Right now we are in the month of July.
230
I'm recording this right now in July and they have things for Halloween.
231
July, August, September, October.
232
We're almost four months away from Halloween and they have a huge display.
233
I'm going to smell this candle and it's called pumpkin pecan waffles.
234
It smells like pumpkin pecan waffle.
235
I was making fun of all of the products they have out for Halloween
236
but I picked out something I'm going to buy.
237
This is a pumpkin but it lights up and I think you can see a skeleton light up inside.
238
So I'm going to take this pumpkin and pay at the cash register over there.
239
There's no one in line right now so I'm just going to walk up to the counter.
240
Now I'm going to pay with my phone using Apple Pay.
241
receipt is fine in the bag thank you thank you
242
so much i spent 35 on a pumpkin
243
and that's the good thing about going inside the stores
244
and checking things out because you never know what you're going to find
245
or buy if you're a woman you probably know what this store is this is sephora
246
and they're famous for their makeup products i'm not going to go inside the store
247
because i'm not on a shopping spree i'm not trying to
248
buy everything in each store i'm just trying to walk around now i'm inside a clothing store called abracombie
249
and fitch and i want to try on this shirt to see
250
if it fits or to see if it's too small for me i'm not sure
251
if i'm going to buy it or like it
252
but you can try things on at the fitting room it's also called the dressing room
253
so come along with me
254
and i'm going to try this on they have many fitting rooms
255
but they gave me fitting room 107 so i'm gonna go ahead
256
and try it on i just tried on this white shirt
257
but i didn't like it so i'm going to put it back on the hanger
258
and now i'm going to check out another store now i'm
259
at the apple store this is the electronics store at the mall
260
and it's always busy as you can see behind me there
261
are people inside trying to buy things like phones ipads tablets computers
262
you name it now i'm at the other end of the
263
mall behind me are the luxury brands like louis vuitton gucci
264
and rolex they have a lot of security guards here
265
because as you guys know these luxury brands are very expensive
266
and they are out of my budget
267
which means i cannot afford these items inside the store also
268
the furniture behind me is very comfortable for people shopping at these stores
269
and feels like luxury compared to other parts of the mall where they have seating sections.
270
I don't think I can record inside the store but I'm going to try to find the most expensive Gucci item.
271
Of course when I entered the Gucci store I wasn't able to record anything inside
272
and when I looked at the shoes there weren't any price tag.
273
That means it was out of my budget.
274
I'm going to go to this store right here called Nordstrom.
275
It's another department store like Macy's but they have a lot of things on sale
276
and it's a little bit more in my budget now i'm
277
at the end of the mall at my very last store called nordstrom
278
and they have things on sale so on sale means at a reduced price
279
so i'm going to see things on sale to see
280
if it fits my budget when something is on sale
281
that means it is at a reduced price for example these boots right here were 170 and after the sale 100 dollars.
282
You can find things on sale like that all over the store.
283
They have different brands at different tables and you can try to find things that would fit your budget.
284
And what happens if someone takes something and walks out the store?
285
Well that is called shoplifting and they have a security system right here that prevents people from shoplifting items.
286
If you walk past this security system the alarm will sound
287
and the whole store will know that you took something from the store without paying for that item.
288
Okay guys, I'm finally outside the mall
289
and I hope you guys have learned a lot of shopping mall vocab inside the mall.
290
I hope you guys can go ahead and give my video a like,
291
a thumbs up, go ahead and subscribe,
292
and give me a super thanks if you like to support my channel.
293

294

Why practice speaking with this video?

Engaging with this video is an excellent way to enhance your English speaking skills, particularly in a shopping context. Ariannita's exploration of a mall not only introduces vocabulary related to shopping but also provides a lively environment that mirrors real-life scenarios. By practicing speaking and shadowing her dialogues, learners can familiarize themselves with everyday English expressions, making it easier to navigate similar situations in the future.

The video emphasizes key phrases you might use, such as “Can I help you?” and “How much does this cost?” Utilizing these in conversation can boost confidence while shopping or interacting at a mall. For English learners, incorporating shadowspeak techniques from the video allows you to mimic intonation and pronunciation, contributing to overall fluency.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Ariannita’s dialogue provides various grammatical structures and expressions worth noting:

  • Using “There is/There are”: Ariannita frequently uses this structure to describe what is found in the mall (e.g., “There are two levels” and “There is a food court”). This is crucial for learners to express existence and location in English.
  • Descriptive adjectives: Phrases like “different sections” and “popular franchises” help learners understand how to use adjectives effectively in descriptive sentences.
  • Comparative structures: Statements like “this is cheaper compared to” or “this store is more popular” teach how to compare items, a common occurrence in shopping conversations.
  • Informal speech vs. formal grammar: The video highlights informal expressions such as “cuz” instead of “because,” providing learners with insight into colloquial language while also contrasting it with formal grammar to reinforce proper usage.

Common Pronunciation Traps

During the video, several words and phrases may present pronunciation challenges for learners:

  • “Kiosk”: It's important to practice this word as it sounds distinct from other similar terms. The correct pronunciation is key for clear communication while shopping.
  • “Escalator”: This word can be tricky due to the vowel sounds; practice saying it repeatedly until you feel confident.
  • “Department store”: The term combines consonant clusters that may confuse non-native speakers, so pay attention to the rhythm when saying it.
  • “On sale”: This commonly used phrase may be mispronounced; ensure to stress the correct syllables to enhance clarity.

Using these tips in conjunction with a shadowing app can significantly boost your IELTS speaking practice by allowing you to repeat after native speakers, improving fluency and pronunciation. Integrating the shopping vocabulary from this video into your daily practice can solidify your understanding and capability in real-world situations.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
